Hey Everyone, I'm going to delete this group in a few days, here are some of the reasons: - I wasn't impressed by Skool and what it offers for us to actually connect - I'm paying 100 usd per month for it - I couldn't get enough people to join to see a way forward I'm actually able to reach around half a million McKenna fans and could only get 200 people to join FOR FREE, so this is clearly not a good approach. I think we need a way more interactive community, and I don't know how that will come about, but please keep an eye on my YouTube channel so that you'll be able to join a new platform once I figure it out! But I really appreciate your trust and commitment to try this out! See you somewhere else!

What are the key words that spontaneously come to mind?

Duncan Russell was playing around with the idea of giving his AI different voices and characteristics to respond to his inquiries, which led me to the idea that having the AI respond in the sound and sensibility of Terence. I already asked ChatGPT to write a short essay in the style of T on the topic of general AI and the conjunction of the discovery of alien co-habitation on earth and the reply was very poetic and interesting.

He used both “concrescence” and “iridescence” in several of his talks. Here’s a great summary of both by ChatGPT Concrescence has various meanings depending on context: 1. Philosophical Context (Whitehead’s Process Philosophy) In Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy, concrescence refers to the process by which an entity comes into being by integrating multiple pre-existing elements into a cohesive whole. Each new “actual occasion” (moment of experience) emerges through a process of concrescence, where it synthesizes influences from past experiences into a novel unity. 2. Biological Context In biology, concrescence refers to the growth or coalescence of parts that are originally separate, such as the fusion of embryonic tissues or the joining of bones. 3. Anthropological and Esoteric Context Terence McKenna, in his explorations of consciousness and time, used “concrescence” to describe the idea of increasing complexity and interconnectedness in human evolution and history, leading to a culminating point where all possibilities converge. Iridescence is the phenomenon where surfaces appear to change color depending on the angle of view or lighting. This shimmering effect is caused by light interacting with microstructures—often thin layers or fine patterns—resulting in interference, diffraction, or scattering. Natural Examples: • Peacock feathers: Microscopic structures reflect different wavelengths of light. • Soap bubbles: Thin films create colorful, shifting patterns. • Butterfly wings: Scales on the wings produce varying colors. • Oils on water: Light reflecting off multiple layers of oil causes interference patterns. Scientific Basis: Iridescence occurs due to: • Constructive and destructive interference: Light waves reflect and combine, enhancing or canceling different colors. • Microstructure variation: Layers or ridges reflect light differently at various angles. Applications: • Textiles: Special fabrics mimic iridescent effects. • Technology: Anti-counterfeiting measures in banknotes.
